In light of Executive Order 2020-59 issued last Friday by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the city of Sterling Heights will extend closure of municipal buildings through at least June 12 to protect the health and safety of both City employees and residents.

The affected buildings include City Hall, Sterling Heights Public Library, Community Center, Senior Center, Nature Center, Department of Public Works and the two Recycling Centers. Although the major and neighborhood parks remain open, amenities such as park pavilions, playscapes, basketball courts, the skate park, soccer fields and some park restrooms remain closed.

All non-essential building inspections remain on hold.

Curbside trash, yard waste and recycling service will continue on normally scheduled pick-up days. The Sterling Heights Police Department Front Desk remains open for handling resident reports. Residents should still dial 9-1-1 for all emergencies, and first responders including police and fire remain on duty around the clock.

Residents with questions are encouraged to email cityhall@sterling-heights.net. Residents are also encouraged to visit the City’s “At-Home Services” web page at www.sterling-heights.net/athomeservices for a comprehensive list of services they can utilize without ever leaving home.These options include everything from paying taxes and bills online to pulling permits and licensing online and even checking out books and movies from the library or getting help with homework over the internet.

Those who require assistance can call 586-446-2757 and a city representative will respond. The City continues to partner with other agencies at the federal, state and county level to ensure we continue to be prepared.
